She nodded, and Liam led her out of the garden, into the darkness of the night. They walked in silence, the only sound being the crunch of gravel beneath their feet.

As they walked, Annabelle realized they were heading towards the woods. The same woods where she had first met Liam.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4WW0E9uxC
"Liam, where are we going?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvKIxUoeUi
Liam didn't respond, but instead, kept walking, his grip on her hand tightening.

And then, they reached the edge of the woods, and Annabelle saw it - a magnificent mansion, hidden away from prying eyes.

"Welcome to your new home, Annabelle," Liam said, his eyes gleaming with a knowing light.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78jvgdATzi
Annabelle's mind reeled as she realized she was being taken to a place where she would uncover more about her family's past.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomDhbYvcue
Annabelle's eyes widened as she stepped into the mansion, her heart racing with anticipation. What secrets lay hidden within these walls?
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCkQkUsU8U
As she entered the mansion, Annabelle was struck by its grandeur. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the walls. Portraits of her ancestors adorned the walls, their eyes seeming to follow her every move.

Liam led her to a door hidden behind a tapestry. "This is the library," he said, pushing the door open. "Here, you'll find the history of your family's past."

Annabelle's heart skipped a beat as she stepped inside. The room was filled with ancient tomes, their leather covers creaking with age. She ran her fingers over the spines, feeling a strange energy emanating from them.

Suddenly, a book fell off the shelf, opening to a page marked with a strange symbol. Annabelle staggered forward, she recognized the symbol - it was the same one on the scroll, the same one in her nightmares.

Liam's eyes locked onto hers. "You're ready to know the truth," he said, his voice low and husky, sounding more like a statement than a question.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArHUxrowlS
Annabelle nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. And then, Liam began to speak, his words weaving a tale of magic, power, and betrayal...
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPuQUsVice
Liam's words painted a picture of a family legacy shrouded in mystery and magic. But as Annabelle listened, she began to feel a nagging sense of doubt.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6FXcJmBx6
"Wait," she said, her voice trembling. "That's not true. My family would never..."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA9mTgk5hG
Liam's expression turned somber. "I'm afraid they would, Annabelle. Your family has been lying to you your entire life."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwUNewssTt
Annabelle's world spun around her. "What do you mean?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2vJI2QSqx
Liam's eyes locked onto hers. "You're not who you think you are. You're not even a part of this family."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27NPzjSAiF
Annabelle froze as Liam's words hit her like a ton of bricks. "What do you mean? Of course, I'm a part of this family!"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedBC7v65zh
Liam's voice was gentle but firm. "Annabelle, Your family has been using you to further their own interests. They've been manipulating you, controlling you..."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7w5WbYgPb
Annabelle felt like she'd been punched in the gut. She couldn't breathe, couldn't think. Her whole life, everything she thought she knew, was a lie.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NLGgxoF95
And then, Liam dropped another bombshell: "Your real parents, Annabelle, they're not dead. They're alive, and they've been searching for you."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQhxGGNjaN
Annabelle's world shattered into a million pieces. She felt like she was living in a dream, a nightmare that she couldn't wake up from.
